    Short intensive course:

    TEXT, DISCOURSE AND CORPORA:
    corpora in linguistics and related fields

    Corpus linguistics has opened new ways of studying and
    describing language and corpora continue to offer
    innovative paths in various fields. In addition to
    general aspects of corpus linguistics, this course
    gives special emphasis to meaning in texts as units
    of discourse.

    The course is a joint project by the Tuscan Word Centre
    and the University of Saarbrücken

    Dates: SEPTEMBER 14th - 19th 2004

    Place: Medienzentrum, Saarland University,
    Saarbrücken, Germany

    Topic leaders:
    Prof. John Sinclair (TWC Italy)
    Prof. Wolfgang Teubert (University of Birmingham)
    Michaela Mahlberg (Saarland University)

    Guest lecturers:
    Prof. Michael Stubbs (University of Trier)
    Prof. Erich Steiner (Saarland University)
    Dr. Silvia Hansen-Schirra (Saarland University)

    The course will give an overview of the main topics in
    corpus work, e.g. corpus design and compilation,
    research tools, corpus linguistic approaches to the
    description of language, monolingual and multilingual
    corpora, applied corpus linguistics (ELT, translation
    studies, literary studies, etc.). On the one hand the
    course aims to provide a basis that will prove useful
    to the individual work of participants. On the other
    hand, the course offers a forum to discuss innovative
    approaches in corpus linguistics and to establish
    interdisciplinary links. A recent development in corpus
    linguistics is the application to textlinguistics and
    discourse studies. In this area the course will present
    cutting-edge research. A corpus linguistic approach to
    the properties of texts will illustrate how corpora can
    provide a link between different research fields
    concerned with language. The expertise of international
    lecturers ensures a high-level course and intensive
    coverage of the topics.
